I earned a PhD in Marital and Family Therapy with a minor in Psychology in addition to a Master's degrees in behavioral science. Having practiced for 34 years, doing over 51,000 sessions in my career, I have accumulated extensive experience in working with individuals, couples, and families struggling with depression, anxiety, anger and grief, along with the stresses of everyday life. As a certified hypnotherapist and teacher of those skills, I find hypnosis very useful in the treatment of a number of issues including, PTSD, addictions, and anxiety. New research is showing marked improvement in some cases of IBS with hypnotherapy.

Yep, life sure can feel heavy sometimes! Does it seem as though you are in a constant wrestling- match with your feelings, or battling an emotional tug-of-war? Are the daily pressures weighing you down, leaving you discouraged, exhausted or hopeless? Maybe you are fighting to control your racing thoughts & restless energy. Struggling to contain or manage your frustration, disappointment, anger, fear or sadness can feel impossible, even pointless, at times. The stress of it all might even be causing you to disconnect or isolate from those you love in order to shield them from what you are going through.

Humor has long been considered an essential element of healing. I place great value on the coupling of feelings. The deep coexisting alongside the light. Our stories are equally diverse and important, but the therapeutic relationship doesn't have to feel frigid. On the contrary, warmth signals affirmation and perhaps a kind of acceptance we have reasoned to be unattainable. I consider building rapport to be the first step in laying the foundation of our safe space. Every single person, regardless of background, beliefs, persuasions, affiliations, or afflictions, deserves to feel validated and worthy. You are not alone.

Changes often move us from our comfort zone and may trigger stressful or distressing thoughts, behaviors, emotions or physiological responses. Our responses are often unconscious.

Sometimes we find ourselves questioning the deeper meaning of our lives, feeling overwhelmed, or disconnected from our true selves. Reflections like these often mark the beginning of a journey towards growth and healing. I focus on creating a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where you can explore your present feelings and how they influence your behaviors. Other approaches I utilize in helping you navigate daily challenges involve identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors, as well as reframing them.

Anger Management Therapists
How long does therapy take for anger management?
Treatment duration depends on the person’s specific challenges and circumstances. There are treatments for anger problems that are shorter and more goal-oriented, like Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which can last weeks to months. Others, like Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) may last between six months and a year, while a more intensive treatment, like psychodynamic therapy, is open-ended, and clients may see their therapist for a year or longer.
How do you know if you need therapy for anger management?
Everyone gets mad from time to time. But when angry outbursts become frequent and cause damage to relationships, whether at home or in the office, it may be a good time to look into therapy. A therapist can assess where a client’s anger may be coming from, suggest strategies for averting angry outbursts, and help a client create a plan to become a calmer version of themselves.
Is there medication for anger management?
Medications do exist that help people mitigate the feeling of anger, but these are reserved for people with anger-related psychiatric disorders, such as intermittent explosive disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, or in some cases borderline personality disorder. In these cases, antidepressant medications may be prescribed to help with the client’s symptoms. In most cases of anger management, however, talk therapy is the recommended treatment, along with lifestyle changes where relevant.
What’s the best way to encourage someone to seek help for anger issues?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either themselves or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
